DiagnoX+ future diagnosis
Hello!
Diagnox.org medical project welcomes the crowdfunding community and calls for support. We invented the way to make a giant leap to the advanced medicine of the future based on the system approach to early diagnosis of diseases and discovery of new diseases, via one service and a global desire to be healthy.
We want to use the openness of the Bitcoin economics in a bid to give our project a second life. Our new Crypto startup will be based on the use of Bitcoin protocol and its Blockchain functions as a confidential system of statistical and financial reporting. By developing our startup, we want to make our way in the global shift from classical economics to new economics, open and independent.
Both independence and openness are very important for us, because we have already tried to bring our idea to life once: we were developing medical information systems for the Government of the Russian Federation. However, due to unfair competition, we lost financial support at the stage of alpha-testing, before the software was released.
This time, we want to ask help not from the governments and corporations, but rather from the final destination of our project – people who care about their own health and health of their loved ones.
Our project arose from one wish, one belief and one single fact:
- We crave for providing the modern medicine with the largest possible database on complicated cases of diseases;
- We believe that every doctor and every patient should have the simplest possible way to consult with specialized doctors;
- We know that two out of three Internet users (which makes it at least 1 billion people worldwide) are looking for information about their health online.
Thus, helping patients and doctors access specialized doctors and advanced studies, we can create a large medical database, the value of which for science is priceless. Timely and properly conducted cluster analysis can help identify new unexplored diseases and prevent new pandemics. We believe that if a system similar to Diagnox had existed in the 19th century, it would have helped prevent tuberculosis and third plague pandemics, as well as the HIV pandemic in the 20th century.

Ghost Virus
Analyzing modern medicine in different countries, we can see that:
There are cases of treatment failures subject to many reasons, including the fact that the majority of patients only see general practitioners who don’t always have modern methods of research or information on the latest pharmaceutical developments. In addition, a general practitioner, who faces hypertensives, diabetics and colds, can miss a rare disease, mistaking it for a more common one.
A large budget associated with the departure to a bug city or abroad is usually required for the treatment of rare diseases. Not every patient can afford these costs.
True causes of many diseases still remain not found. Moreover, new diseases emerge, and the sooner we learn to recognize and treat them, the less they will harm people’s lives and destinies.
Prescribed treatment is heavily influenced by pharmaceutical companies interested in increasing sales rather than health.
Our project DiagnoX will be able to meet each of these challenges, pushing mankind to new medicine, more accessible and based on sound scientific knowledge.
DiagnoX will allow to create a database where all diseases and their records (on condition of anonymous provision of impersonal data, including biotelemetering, managed by meta identification) are studied in order to identify the causes of disease and its way of propagation, as well as to find an effective treatment.
Rare Diseases
EURORDIS organization estimates that there are 5 to 7 thousand rare diseases in the world (while in the European Union, for instance, 6 to 8% of the population suffer from them, which is every 16th person), and diagnosis is usually possible with specialized doctors only.
We do not think it is fair for a person to suffer from the symptoms of such diseases all their life without receiving adequate diagnosis and treatment.
We want children with rare diseases to receive timely treatment and be able to socialize.
We believe that every adult deserves better treatment of chronic diseases and timely diagnosis of life-threatening diseases like cancer.
We will be glad if our project helps ensure the most comfortable life for older people by alleviating the symptoms of severe illnesses and, in some cases, curing them.
The idea of DiagnoX appeared when we held competitions on disease recognition at medical conferences, via photographs and various medical data. Diagnox is a format for the international board of doctors, and not only on the most complex diseases for the richest patients, but rather as a consultation of specialized doctors as a mass phenomenon, accessible to more and more people.
Future of the Diagnosis
Over the years of working on medical information systems projects, our team developed a universal hardware and software system – Teleshares platform, which can be used to support telemedicine projects.
DiagnoX is a service based on Teleshares platform technology, it combines teleconsultation and teleinvestigation networks.
How does it work?DiagnoX provides patients and their physicians from all over the world with direct and rapid access to telediagnostic consultations and unique expertise that are possible thanks to extensive scientific database with photos and videos received from medical providers, antineoplastic institutions.
Experience in application:Discussion of the patient’s disease is hold by several experts simultaneously – such comprehensive approach provides patients with equal access to information on the nature, diagnosis and therapy regimen of disease, contributing to their desire to be informed participants in treatment.
Result of a research network:Once we were approached by a patient complaining about inefficiency of the prescribed treatment of gastric ulcer disease associated with H.Pylori* bacteria. The conducted public consultation of gastroenterologists from different regions of the country examined this medical case. After a thorough examination of the patient’s clinical record and a research, one of the doctors revealed a link between the location of the patient and a treatment failure due to resistance to the prescribed drug.
Benefits of the service:One of the main features of the service is Biograph, a system of medical records, which helps the specialist to more accurately examine the patient’s physical history before proceeding to diagnosis.
https://i.imgur.com/3yZQsEy.jpgThe patient fills in their medical profile, Biograph, in accordance to suggested poll schemes and computer-assisted diagnosis systems, and thus creates relevant information about their health, bringing in important details of a description of their current state of health, allergic anamnesis and overall physical history.
Based on the technical accessibility, medical records to Biograph are made as test results and medical history in chronological order, from the previous attending physicians, otherwise the patient may provide selected individuals with access to fill in and edit the profile by sending them an invitation by e-mail.
Why is it important?Medical background, based on the anonymously provided medical Biograph profiles and depersonalized information about the patients, creates medical big data in real time for research activities to study diseases worldwide.
Cluster analysis and dynamic curves building facilitate understanding of the links between the observed phenomena, allowing to determine therapeutic factors and stimulating new scientific discoveries and development of new therapies.

Idea of Open Bitcoin Economics
A promising trend of Open Bitcoin Economics was chosen as the basis of independent existence of the project.
Why?Within the framework of classical economics, it is hard to show consistent results and receive an objective positive fair assessment to promote further growth and development.
Bitcoin potential opportunities open up many areas of its application and provide a unique powerful incentive for growth, the value of which we intend to disclose at the example of our crypto startup.
How it works:Ecosystem functions using Bitcoin network, Blockchain and other Bitcoin services.
Crypto startup, once officially enrolled in the legal field of classical economics, globally guarantees the juridical legitimacy of Bitcoin use as a basis of an independent open economics, for all participants in economic activity, by creating a free world economy.
Via web applications, a system is created online of labels and signs, use of resources at all levels of the organization, and open financial statements with descriptive comments to economic actions on direction and purpose of processes.
All internal and external flaws, calculations, revenues and expenses, including wages, are conducted exclusively in Bitcoins.
Users pay in whatever currency, but the funds are converted into Bitcoins, in order to present the evidence based on Blockchain public network, confirming financial activity.
Thanks to Bitcoin, the efficiency of economic activities of the company can be accurately assessed and large investment support can be attracted.
Crowdfunding campaign
Resources
“DiagnoX” team is fully staffed and has production facilities and software and technical support of the project required to launch DiagnoX beta service.
https://i.imgur.com/vmS0ykS.jpgWhat do we have?Verified database of qualified specialists from different fields of medicine across three countries is collected, which is about 400 participants interested in cooperation with the service.
Preliminary agreements to provide telemedicine services to medical institutions from Israel and Germany, as well as some radiology centers, are reached.
Upon successful completion of the fundraising campaign, the guaranteed launch date of a full-featured DiagnoXβ service is August 25, 2014, with the formal registration of the company and the opening of offices in the United States.
What the donations will be spent on
The claimed funding will provide seventy days of the service operation in basic mode in terms of austerity and limited staff consisting of the most essential employees. Most of the team members contribute to the project without getting paid.
The development center and the entire business is transferred to Estonia, Tallinn, for the purpose of political risk insurance and cost reduction, the company’s representative is located in the United States, California, San Francisco.
Borrowed funds are expected to be largely spent on the development of the affiliate program: connections with major medical portals, institutions, doctors, and on online advertising of the service.
The remaining funds will be used for search and preparation for venture capital investments in favor of scaling the service.
Once again about the relevance of the project
66% – of Internet users are seeking information about their health.
52% – of smartphone users are seeking information about their health.
28% – check medical advice online.
The world market of mobile medicine is estimated at $23bn.
According to IHS Technology forecast, the revenues of telemedicine services segment will grow from $440.6 million in 2013 to $4.5 billion in 2018. Number of patients using such services will reach 7 million people. Harry Kim, Hewlett-Packard’s senior director for worldwide healthcare, estimates the potential volume of telemedicine market at $10 billion dollars, while believing that 40% (Cisco estimation – 74%) of visits to doctors could be conducted using telemedicine.
At the moment, 27% of diagnostic centers and 42% of clinics around the world offer their patients telemedicine services.
In 2010, our company in Russia sold a software package for telemedicine consultations and creation of a medical portal for online help.
There is a successful US counterpart “Healthtap” with the business model of private expert base, which attracted a total investment of $30 million.
Risks and Obstacles
Conservatism of doctorsSome doctors tend to conventionalism and a taste for “well-tried” methods.
Solution:Conducting seminars to position the service as an innovative method to provide services according to the “second diagnosis” model, creating a positive image of the collegial approach to the patient and taking of the decision thatdoes not cast doubt on the qualification of the attending physician.
Lack of interest from doctors’ part
Many healthcare institutions find public funding, patient’s private payment for their services or insurance policies sufficient enough.
Solution:Dynamic marketing policy for the active introduction and promotion of the service among patients and medical institutions. The main incentive is payments for remote consultations as an additional source of revenue for healthcare institutions, medical portals and doctors
Legal risksState legal regulation of healthcare in different countries, specific regulations on the use of telemedicine and information security, peculiarities of licensing and control over the quality of medical services, legal liability of the consultants.
Solution:Using local regulations to attribute legitimate status to the services and settling all contractual relationships with partners of the telemedicine project, patients, healthcare institutions and doctors.
Application of software that protects private databases, data encryption, and digital signature to sign the authenticity of the opinion.
Distrust of Telemedicine, Cyberchondria
Cyberchondria is a virtual ailment, the essence of which is the pursuit of human to self-diagnose the disease based on the appearance of symptoms described on the online portals devoted to medical subjects.
Our service does not seek to replace visiting healthcare institutions and examinations by doctors.
DiagnoX is designed to solve the problem of timeliness and availability of quality reference health care and scientific approach to the study of disease. We want to ensure timely diagnosis in the world leading hospitals with top-rated specialists – at the same time, a quite operational one and under the supervision of the attending physician.
Prospetcs
We chose three of the most interesting promising applications of DiagnoX
- Formation of automatic diagnostic systems based on global data on scientific analysis of the disease architecture for early detection of the risk of future disease development.
- Systems of automatic recognition of injuries and various anomalies, simulation based on three-dimensional scanning.
- Epidemiological cards with systems of mathematical modeling of forecasting the chance of epidemics.
Opinion
Doctor from ancient Syria, Abdul Farafis, when received a patient, greeted him with the following words: “We are three: you, disease and me. If you are on the side of the disease, you will be two. You will beat me, because I am alone. But if you’re with me, we’ll overcome the disease. After all, it would not have any allies".
DiagnoX+, your ally
